I'm 23 and only been putting engines together for a few years so I'm kinda new to all the terms what is LDA? Do u mean LSA?

you have 4 degrees more duration on the exhaust side?you didnt say the LDA of the cam.If you have a turbo header with that cam? the duration is wrong way for split.
This engine should break the tires loose with 2.7 gears.how many cfm does your turbo charger system move?

Currently there are 4.88 in it and I can just feel the engine running up in rpm to quick to make power... The gear I have doesn't allow much time in each gear and it pulls me out of my powerband

If you are racing then you need some tires first.The trans wont last long

Not trying to one-up anybody but my old single axle med. duty dump truck has one of those 2 speed rears, Eaton, get this- 6.50-8.85!.. The spicer 5 speed is 1:1 in 5th!.. Of course 11r 22.5 truck tires, but wow does she have some gear..

On topic, I like a combo for the street that gets you right at 10:1 in first gear, all in, through the tires.
